At about 11:53 yesterday evening, a fire suddenly broke out at the "Lian Shang Yun Lang" construction site. Since the incident occurred at a high-rise construction site with a height of more than 30 stories, the fire was concentrated on the 19th floor. Black smoke and flames were quite obvious in the night sky. The New Taipei City Fire Department did not dare to be careless and immediately dispatched a large number of disaster relief vehicles and 104 firefighters to the rescue. After arriving, they quickly deployed water lines for high-altitude rescue operations and sent personnel into the construction site to conduct blanket search and rescue operations.
